Look what guitar Frank Aresti was playing! (Hamer content)

[zorrow]

Frank Aresti, the Fates Warning guy (and one of my preferred players ever), was playing a Hamer last time I saw them live:

Is that an Elite? I wonder what pups those are.

He's been playing that one for years!

I'm the webmaster for http://fateswarning.com (as well as http://osiband.com) and talked to Frank a while back about his gold Hamer guitar.

He used it during the Fates Warning shows with Queensryche in 2003, it was then stolen in Suffield, CT later that year.

Here are some more photos of the guitar - http://fateswarning.info/news/archives/00000042.shtml

and the news blurb about it being stolen - http://fateswarning.info/news/archives/00000049.shtml

The serial number is: 352582 (just in case anyone runs across it now...if you do, shoot me an email and I'll relay the message to Frank: webmaster (at) fateswarning (dot) com )
